Summary

Pine Prairie High School is an alternative school in the small town of Pine Prairie, Louisiana, serving 757 students in grades PK through 12 under the Evangeline Parish school district, where over 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Pine Prairie stands out for its strong academic performance and high graduation rate, especially when compared to nearby alternative schools. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school achieved a 68% proficiency rate in Mathematics and 79% in English Language Arts—dramatically higher than Central Southwest Alternative High School, which had single-digit proficiency rates, and notably higher than Glenmora High School (61% Math, 67% ELA). The graduation rate has climbed to 88.2%, well above the state average of 85.0%, while the dropout rate has dropped to just 0.7%—far better than the district (1.9%) and state (3.1%) averages. This combination of high achievement and student retention is a powerful sign of success.

However, Pine Prairie faces a notable challenge with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 26.0%—higher than the state average of 22.5% and a stark contrast to Glenmora High School’s exceptionally low rate of 2.0%. This suggests that while students who attend regularly perform well, getting a significant portion of the student body to school consistently is a major hurdle. Additionally, the school shows a weakness in certain End-of-Course exams, such as Geometry (48% proficiency) and English II (61%), which lag behind district and state averages. Despite these issues, Pine Prairie’s consistent improvement over the past five years—with graduation rates rising from 79.4% to 88.2%—shows that targeted efforts are making a real difference for students.
